I will be a boss in the future world

Hearing this, Yuying's heart was shocked, as if something had been exposed. She choked in panic, not knowing how to respond.

So she hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to concentrate on eating a mouthful of rice, hoping to hide her inner anxiety and embarrassment.

After a while, Yuying's voice came again, but it sounded dull and helpless: "It's fine if it's thick, it's good to be alone anyway."

This sentence is full of contradictions and complex emotions. On the one hand, she is trying to comfort herself, and on the other hand, she reveals her dissatisfaction and loss with her lonely life.

Perhaps, she really needs more time to adapt to this living condition, or find a way that suits her better to face the future.

"..."

Sha Feiran sighed softly in his heart, then raised his hand with a smile and helped Yu Ying wipe the rice grains from the corner of her mouth. "Don't act so arrogant in front of me, little sister. I'm several years older than you, so I can be considered your brother."

"The sufferings I've experienced since childhood, the life and death I've witnessed, are more than the salt you've eaten."

He whispered, "After all, you are still a girl... Isn't it good to have someone who cares about you and protects you?"

"Besides, you deserve it."

"..."

My heartbeat became a little strange and my ears started to feel hot.

Suddenly she discovered that there was a maturity beyond his age in his eyes, as if he was peeling off the thick shell of her heart layer by layer.

That was an insight honed by a life and experiences she had never known.

If there really is such a person, why didn't he show up earlier?

Or maybe he had already appeared.

But now, she is strong enough that she doesn't need anyone to feel sorry for her anymore.

"By the way, let me show you something."

As he spoke, Sha Feiran mysteriously took out a small box, which was filled with black, round things.

Yu Ying's eyes lit up, and she felt that the object in front of her was very familiar. She asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"Seeds, seeds of a kind of flower."

The gentle and low male voice sounded like a sigh.

"...!!!"

Yu Ying was stunned for a moment, and before she could make any expression, she heard Sha Feiran continue, "I finally found this in an antique shop. Guess what kind of flower this is?"

"Yes……"

Her words suddenly stopped, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't catch the thought that flashed through her mind.

After thinking for a moment, Yuying slowly shook her head and said, "I can't guess, what kind of flower is this?"

"Lily of the valley..."

Facing Yuying's hopeful gaze, Sha Feiran paused slightly, as if looking for the right words, "It is said that the fragrance of this flower is very strong and refreshing. In the old world, it was often used to make bouquets to give to people. Otherwise, why would it be called perfume lily."

Yuying frowned slightly and couldn't help murmuring softly, as if savoring these four words over and over between her lips and tongue.

"I've seen it in the system, but I've never seen it in person. I don't know what the flower really looks like or what it smells like."

Seeing Yuying's expression was a little sad, Sha Feiran slightly bent his knees and waved at her with a smile, "Do you like it? Then I will plant one for you."

Yuying was surprised: "Really?"

She was about to nod, but then became a little confused, "But after such a long time, can this seed still sprout?"

Sha Feiran shrugged and looked over with a smile, "How do you know if you don't try?"

"As long as you are willing to wait, I will find a way to make it sprout and bloom."

Yuying nodded heavily. Her already extremely beautiful and soft face now contained an expectant smile, as if it was coated with a layer of light.

"Of course I'm willing to wait, no matter how long it takes."

"……"laugh.

"It shouldn't be long, I'm sure."

We chatted for so long that night that time passed by unknowingly.

I couldn't resist the fatigue accumulated throughout the day and I didn't know how I fell asleep.

It was still raining outside the window, but I slept very soundly.

Because in a daze, I seemed to dream of that flower... called lily of the valley.

Under the dim light, Sha Feiran leaned against the bed, quietly looking at the person sleeping on the bed.

"No way, you can fall asleep like this?"

“……” Sigh silently.

"It seems that you are really exhausted today."

"Idiot, you're still just a simple little girl."

"No matter how strong you are, you can't be defenseless against men."

"But luckily it's me."

"If you meet other people, don't do this, you hear me?"

He slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips lightly touched the small wooden box beside the bed. His eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he was lost in memories, as if the small wooden box carried some special meaning that made him unable to extricate himself from it.

"Do you know what the flower language of the lily is?"

"Great and pure love..."

"It symbolizes elegance, holiness, indifference and eternity above the mundane world."

"I know you'll like it."

The screen of the computer on the table suddenly lit up, as if someone was calling. Sha Feiran quickly reached out and picked it up, turned it to mute, stood up and walked to the window.

"Well, it's done. Those guys agreed to cooperate."

"..."

"No, it was just an accident."

"Don't worry."

"..."

"I'm fine. I'm fine now."

"A girl saved me and I survived."

"..."

"The plan is going well, everything is as usual."

"Contact me when you have news."

"..."

"I know, you should also be careful."

Putting down his phone, the man looked out the window at the darkness and sighed softly.

“The sky above the city is like a blank TV screen.”

“We know everything and we know nothing.”
